Bail Bonds Service in Lewisville, TX

A Way Out Bail Bonds is licensed in Dallas County and Tarrant County, and we help Lewisville, Texas families work through what happens after an arrest in a city that sits almost entirely inside Denton County. A person arrested by the Lewisville Police Department is booked into the Lewisville City Jail inside the Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center at 1187 W. Main St., and anyone who is not released from there is moved to the Denton County Jail at 127 N. Woodrow Ln. in Denton. If your family member was instead booked into a Dallas County or Tarrant County facility, we post the felony, misdemeanor, DWI, warrant or traffic bond ourselves under Dallas County Bail Bond License #285 or Tarrant County Bail Bond License #218, with bonds underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company. If the arrest was booked in Denton County, we confirm which facility is holding the person, walk you through the Denton process step by step, and connect you with a licensed resource for that county. Our agents bring more than 35 years of North Texas bail bond experience, answer the phone live 24 hours a day, speak Spanish, and offer payment plans with no credit check. Call 817-261-2828 at any hour. Read what North Texas families say about A Way Out Bail Bonds.

About Bail Bonds in Lewisville, TX

Lewisville is the largest city we serve outside Dallas and Tarrant counties. The 2020 census counted 111,822 residents across about 37 square miles, and roughly one seventh of that area is water, because Lewisville Lake fills the city’s northern edge. Interstate 35E runs the length of the city from the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121) junction to the Lewisville Lake bridge, and FM 1171, known locally as Main Street, crosses it at the center. The police department, city jail and municipal court all sit together on West Main Street just west of I-35E.

Those features shape the arrests we hear about. I-35E is one of the busiest DWI enforcement corridors in Denton County, and stops on the interstate, Main Street and Round Grove Road produce a steady flow of warrant arrests. The Vista Ridge Mall area generates theft and trespass cases, Lewisville Lake produces boating while intoxicated and public intoxication arrests from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and Old Town Lewisville’s bar and restaurant district around the DCTA A-train station adds late-night misdemeanor arrests on event weekends such as Western Days.

Lewisville is nearly all in Denton County, and that is what matters for bail. The county seat is Denton, about 20 miles north on I-35E, and every Lewisville case above a Class C misdemeanor is a Denton County case. A small piece of the city’s southeastern edge near the Sam Rayburn Tollway extends into Dallas County, and an arrest by another agency in that area could be booked into a Dallas County facility, where we post the bond directly.

What is a personal recognizance bond?

A personal recognizance bond, often called a PR bond, is a release without a surety in which the defendant signs a promise to appear and pays no bond fee. Magistrates grant PR bonds in some low-level cases, but Texas law bars them for certain violent charges and they are never guaranteed, so a surety bond is the usual route to release. Our How Bail Bonds Work page explains the difference in more detail.

Which Jail Will Someone Arrested in Lewisville Be Taken To?

Someone arrested by Lewisville police is taken to the Lewisville City Jail in the Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center, 1187 W. Main St., Lewisville, TX 75067, and the jail information line is 972-219-3665. The Lewisville Police Department’s main number is 972-219-3600. Lewisville operates its own full-service jail, so most people stay there through magistration and, if a bond is posted promptly, never go to Denton.

Here is the path, based on the Lewisville Police Department contact page and the Denton County Sheriff’s Office:

• Arrest and booking in Lewisville. The arrestee is booked at 1187 W. Main St. Booking includes fingerprints, photographs and a warrant check across other jurisdictions.
• Magistration. A magistrate sees the arrestee, usually within 24 hours and always within 48 hours as Texas law requires, reviews the Public Safety Report, sets the bond amount and reads any conditions. This step happens at the city facility, not in Denton.
• Bond posted in Lewisville or Denton. Once a bond amount exists, a licensed Denton County bondsman posts the bond and the Lewisville jail processes the release. If the person has already been transferred, the bond is posted at the Denton County Jail bond window instead.
• Transfer to Denton County. People who are not bonded out within a day or two, and anyone with a Denton County felony hold, are transported to the Denton County Jail, 127 N. Woodrow Ln., Denton, TX 76205. Jail information is 940-349-1700 or 972-434-5502, and jail records are 940-349-1630 or 972-434-5507.
• Release. Release from Lewisville is generally faster than release from Denton because the city jail handles a smaller volume.

If a Dallas County agency made the arrest, for example Carrollton or Coppell police near the county line, the person may end up at the Dallas County Jail (Lew Sterrett Justice Center), 111 W. Commerce St., Dallas, TX 75202, inmate information 214-761-9025, and we write that bond directly under Dallas County License #285. Call us first and we will confirm which agency made the arrest.

Class C and Lewisville Municipal Court Matters

Fine-only Class C charges, including traffic citations, city ordinance violations and some Class C misdemeanors such as minor theft under the fine-only threshold, go to the Lewisville Municipal Court, 1197 W. Main St., Lewisville, TX 75067, phone 972-219-3436. The court sits next door to the police department and jail. The court’s website at lewisvillecourt.com lists current hours, payment options and the process for clearing a warrant. A Lewisville municipal warrant can usually be resolved by paying the fine, posting a cash bond or, where the judge allows, posting a surety bond, and we will explain which applies to your case.

Bail Bond Services We Offer in Lewisville

We help Lewisville families with every level of charge, posting the bond ourselves for Dallas or Tarrant County bookings and guiding you through the Denton County process otherwise.

Felony Bail Bonds in Lewisville

Felony charges arising from a Lewisville arrest are prosecuted in the Denton County district courts at the Denton County Courts Building, 1450 E. McKinney St., Denton. Felony bond amounts are set individually by the magistrate and often require a co-signer and collateral. Common Lewisville felonies include controlled substance possession from I-35E stops, aggravated assault and felony DWI. Our Types of Bail Bonds page describes how felony bonds differ from misdemeanor bonds.

Misdemeanor Bail Bonds in Lewisville

Class A and Class B misdemeanors are the bulk of Lewisville arrests: first-offense DWI, possession of marijuana, theft from Vista Ridge Mall and nearby retail, simple assault and criminal trespass. These cases are heard in the Denton County Courts at Law, and a family can usually move quickly once the magistrate sets the bond.

DWI and DUI Bail Bonds in Lewisville

I-35E through Lewisville and the roads around Lewisville Lake produce more DWI arrests than any other charge we hear about from the city. A first DWI is a Class B misdemeanor, and the magistrate may require an ignition interlock device as a condition of release. Our DWI and DUI bail bonds page explains what to expect from arrest through the first court date.

Warrant Bail Bonds in Lewisville

Many Lewisville warrant arrests start with a routine traffic stop that turns up an old Denton, Dallas or Tarrant County warrant. For Dallas and Tarrant County warrants we can arrange a walk-through surrender so the person bonds out in one visit; for Denton County warrants we explain the process and help you plan the surrender.

Traffic and Class C Bonds in Lewisville

Class C traffic warrants are handled by the Lewisville Municipal Court at 1197 W. Main St. We explain what the court accepts and, where a surety bond is permitted, help you post it. See our traffic ticket bail bonds page for details on how traffic bonds work.

How the Bail Process Works in Lewisville

The bail process for a Lewisville arrest follows six steps, and the first one is a phone call to us.

• Call 817-261-2828. Tell us the person’s full name, date of birth, the agency that made the arrest and the charge if you know it. We answer live at every hour, including weekends and holidays.
• We locate the person and confirm the county. We check the Lewisville jail, the Denton County records search and the Dallas and Tarrant County inmate systems.
• Bond amount and paperwork. We confirm the bond amount and conditions, or tell you roughly when to expect them, and prepare the co-signer paperwork by phone, fax or email.
• Bond posting. For a Dallas or Tarrant County booking, our agent posts the surety bond at the county bond desk and notifies the holding facility. For a Denton County booking, we connect you with a licensed Denton County bondsman and stay involved so you understand each step.
• Release processing. Release from the Lewisville City Jail typically takes a few hours after the bond is confirmed; release from the Denton County Jail can take longer depending on volume. These are estimates, not promises.
• Court date follow-up. We help the defendant and co-signer track every court date, because appearing in court keeps the bond in good standing.

Texas bail law changed in two significant ways recently. Senate Bill 6, the Damon Allen Act, took effect in December 2021; it requires a Public Safety Report before bail is set, magistration within 48 hours of arrest, and no personal bonds for certain violent offenses. On November 4, 2025, Texas voters approved Proposition 3, which lets judges deny bail entirely in defined violent and sexual felony cases when the prosecution proves its case by clear and convincing evidence. Neither change affects the ordinary Lewisville misdemeanor or non-violent felony arrest, where a surety bond remains available. The Texas Justice Court Training Center bail page lays out the current rules.

Affordable Bail Bonds in Lewisville: Payment Options

A surety bond costs a family far less than paying the full bail to the county, and when we post the bond ourselves for a Dallas or Tarrant County booking we build the fee around what you can manage.

• Payment plans. Installment arrangements are available on many bonds so release does not wait on a single lump sum.
• Low down payment options. Qualified co-signers can often begin the release with a reduced first payment.
• No credit check. We evaluate the charge, the defendant’s court history and the co-signer’s stability, not a credit score.
• Co-signer options. Two or more family members can share responsibility for a single bond.
• Collateral only when necessary. Most misdemeanor bonds require none; when it is required, we explain what qualifies and how it is returned.
• Payment methods. Major credit cards, American Express, Western Union, personal checks, cash in some situations and payment at the jail are all accepted.
• Written terms. Every fee and condition appears in the agreement before you sign.

Our bail payment options page covers each of these. For a Denton County booking, we explain how bond fees generally work so you know what to ask.

Local Knowledge: Lewisville Courts, Districts and Rules

Lewisville’s arrests cluster along I-35E and around the lake and the mall. The Vista Ridge Mall district at I-35E and Round Grove Road is the source of most theft and trespass cases. Lewisville Lake’s parks and marinas along Lake Park Road generate summer weekend DWI, BWI and public intoxication arrests. Old Town Lewisville, centered on Main Street and Mill Street east of I-35E, draws large crowds for Western Days in late September and has a growing nightlife scene around the DCTA Old Town Station. The Castle Hills area and the neighborhoods off FM 3040 produce fewer arrests but more traffic-stop warrant cases.

Court matters for Lewisville arrests are divided by charge level:

• Class C (fine-only): Lewisville Municipal Court, 1197 W. Main St., Lewisville, TX 75067, 972-219-3436.
• Class A and B misdemeanors: Denton County Courts at Law, Denton County Courts Building, 1450 E. McKinney St., Denton, TX 76209.
• Felonies: Denton County District Courts, also at 1450 E. McKinney St. in Denton.
• Dallas County bookings (rare, county-line arrests by other agencies): Dallas County courts at the Frank Crowley Courts Building, 133 N. Riverfront Blvd., Dallas, TX 75207.

One process quirk that catches Lewisville families off guard: the Lewisville jail and the Denton County Jail run separate inmate records. A person transferred to Denton overnight no longer appears in Lewisville’s records, and a family calling the city jail may simply be told the person is not there. When you call us we check both systems and tell you exactly where the person is and which county’s rules apply.

For a Dallas County booking, our agents work the Lew Sterrett bond desk daily, and because paperwork can be completed by phone, fax or email, distance seldom delays anything.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lewisville Bail Bonds

Where is the Lewisville jail located?

The Lewisville City Jail is inside the Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center at 1187 W. Main St., Lewisville, TX 75067, just west of I-35E. The jail information line is 972-219-3665 and the police department’s main number is 972-219-3600. The municipal court is next door at 1197 W. Main St. People who are not released from the city jail are moved to the Denton County Jail at 127 N. Woodrow Ln. in Denton.

Is a Lewisville arrest a Denton County case?

Yes, in almost every instance. Lewisville lies inside Denton County, so Class A and B misdemeanors and all felonies from a Lewisville police arrest are prosecuted in Denton County courts and any bond above the Class C level is a Denton County bond. Only an arrest by a Dallas County agency in the small part of the city that crosses the county line would be handled in Dallas County, where A Way Out posts the bond directly.

How long does the Denton County Jail take to release someone after a bond is posted?

Release from the Denton County Jail usually takes several hours after the bond is accepted, and the wait stretches during shift changes, on weekend nights and when booking volume is high. Release from the Lewisville City Jail is often quicker because it handles fewer people. Neither facility guarantees a release time, so we give you a realistic estimate for the day and hour.

Can A Way Out Bail Bonds post a bond in Denton County?

No. A Way Out Bail Bonds is licensed in Dallas County and Tarrant County only. When a Lewisville arrest is booked in Denton County, we confirm the facility, explain the process from magistration through release and connect you with a licensed Denton County resource. When the arrest is booked into a Dallas or Tarrant County facility, we post the bond ourselves without delay.

What does a co-signer agree to?

The co-signer, or indemnitor, promises the bonding company that the defendant will attend every court date and agrees to be responsible for the full bond amount if the defendant fails to appear and cannot be located. Co-signers usually need a valid ID, proof of address and a steady source of income, and we review the agreement with every co-signer before signing.

Will the bail bond fee be refunded when the case ends?

No. Under Texas law the fee paid to a bail bond company is earned when the bond is posted and is not refunded, whether the case is dismissed, resolved by plea or won at trial. Cash bail paid directly to the county is refunded at the end of the case less court costs, but it requires paying the entire bail amount up front.

What happens if someone arrested in Lewisville is picked up on a Friday night?

Magistration still happens within 48 hours, and Lewisville and Denton County both conduct magistrations on weekends. A bond can be posted at any hour once the amount is set, though release processing on weekend nights runs slower than on weekday mornings. Calling right away lets us have paperwork ready as soon as the magistrate acts.

How do I find out the bond amount for a Lewisville arrest?

Call us and we will check for you. The bond amount is set at magistration and appears in the Lewisville jail’s records or the Denton County judicial records search once entered. If magistration has not yet occurred, there is no amount to find, and we will tell you when to expect one.
